Although Friday 15th March was a rainy and windy day, our girls in grades 5 and 6 still managed to continue with their robotics sessions in the main yard. They were really enthusiastic moving around their small robots under the guidance of Ms Abby Camilleri Pearson, on behalf of robocoach. In collaboration with robocoach, robotics and STEM sessions are being offered by the school not only during the school day but also as after school sessions. These sessions are being organised thanks to the agreement signed last Summer between the school and Robocoach. In the past months, the school invested heavily in resources related to robotics.

Once again Dr Kenneth Vella, headmaster, thanked robocoach for its support and confirmed that both parties intend to extend their collaboration even during the coming scholastic year as both believe that this is the way forward even in our system of education. Robocoach is also planning to organise sessions during Summer at our school during different days and times. For more information you can send an email on materbon@gmail.com

On Friday 15th March, the students who form part of the Ekoskola team of Mater Boni Consilii St Joseph School Paola, grouped up during today’s post-break assembly and explained why a protest is being held all around the world. The students explained how this protest’s objective is that of combatting the dangers that are being provoked by climate change.

Due to excessive global warming, a lot of animals are being endangered or are becoming extinct too. The girls explained what actions to take, in order not to pollute our planet Earth further. For example, to make use of carpooling or use electric cars, reduce noise pollution amongst other things. This action was taken by the Ekoskola committee to join the protest started by Greta Thunberg together with youths from around the world.

Greta Thunberg

Greta Thunberg is a 16-year-old girl from Sweden, who last August began camping outside the Swedish parliament and accused lawmakers of failing to uphold their commitments to fight climate change as agreed to under the Paris climate accord. Last December, Thunberg was invited to speak to climate negotiators in Poland and recently to leaders in Davos, Switzerland. She has now been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

]]>On Thursday 14th March, Dr Kenneth Vella, headmaster, presented a donation to Mr Stephen Axisa, National Director of ACN Malta (Aid to the Church in Need). The money was collected during a healthy eating activity organised recently at school. Dr Vella mentioned the importance that we continue to help refugees and children in Syria, a country in which thousands of children are not receiving any education, are living in poverty and in refugee camps. He also thanked the girls and Ms Dorianne Schembri, a member of staff who coordinated the event.

Mr Gauci thanked the students and staff of Mater Boni Consilii St Joseph School Paola and appealed to the girls and to other students to continue taking initiatives in aid of the people in need and who are living in countries affected by war.
